Britain, France and Germany did not follow suit to ban TikTok (full text) US media: The US pressure on ByteDance is exactly the same as the suppression of Huawei, but Britain, France and Germany did not follow suit to ban it

"As the U.S. steps up its crackdown on Chinese technology, Europe resists the TikTok ban." Bloomberg News Agency reported on this topic on the 3rd, saying that after U.S. President Trump threatened to ban TikTok, Europe's three major economies - Britain, France and Germany - did not ban TikTok.

The report said that spokesmen for the British and French governments said that the two countries had no plans to ban TikTok in their countries. In addition, a German government official also said that Germany has not found any signs that the app (referring to TikTok) will pose a security risk and has no plans to ban it. A spokesman for British Prime Minister Johnson also said that Johnson had not yet discussed the issue with Trump.

In addition, the British "Sun" quoted sources on the 3rd as saying that the British Johnson government has agreed to the short video social platform TikTok to set up its headquarters in London, and said that the plan will be announced in the next few days. In response, a relevant person in charge of TikTok said on the same day: "We are indeed exploring the possibility of setting up TikTok headquarters outside the United States." The report also stated that the Johnson government is taking a great risk because it may anger US President Trump, who is considering banning TikTok.
